Granny Smith Cinnamon Muffins (Gluten Free Nut Free)



Gluten free baking can sometimes feel like a guessing game!  Sometimes I try substituting gluten free ingredients into a regular recipe and it just doesn't work. But sometimes it does!   

David Venable from QVC shared a great muffin recipe, and it was so easy to make it gluten free just by substituting in gluten free flour! And the muffins turned out so yummy!! 

Here's the recipe:
  • 3 cups all-purpose gluten free flour (I use Betty Crocker GF Rice Flour Blend)
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cups milk
  • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and grated

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin pan. 

  • Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir with spoon till combined.

  •  Add the oil, eggs, and milk. With a hand mixer beat till combined, but don't over mix. 

  • Pour in the apples and stir them in gently with a spoon.  

  • Spoon the batter into muffin pan.

     Sprinkle just a little more cinnamon on each muffin before cooking.

     Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set.

Country Steak with Gravy (Gluten Free Nut Free)

Here's one of my family's favorite recipes! Super simple and yummy! Great with mashed potatoes or rice!  Ingredients:  2 pounds. beef cubed steak GF Flour, enough to dredge steak (I use Betty Crocker all purpose GF rice flour) Olive oil, enough to use for browning steak Salt and pepper 1 carton Pacific Naturals Organic GF condensed cream of chicken soup 1 pkg GF brown gravy mix (I use Simply Organic Brown Gravy Mix) Water (1 soup carton full) Salt and pepper to taste Dredge the cubed steak in flour and brown in vegetable oil just until brown on both sides. I have browned the meat before without using the flour, and it turns out great too! Salt and pepper the steak just a little while browning.  Place browned steak in a greased 9x13 dish. In separate bowl, mix together the GF cream of chicken soup, gravy mix and water. Whisk thoroughly until blended. Pour over steak.  Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free Nut Free)

I love breakfast casserole. It is my favorite breakfast dish ever. But every time I tried to make it myself, I never could get it quite right. That was until my cousin shared her breakfast casserole recipe with me. It's delicious! Here's the recipe GF! 4 slices of Udi's GF white sandwich bread   1 lb GF bulk sausage, browned and broken up  (I use Ingles Markets Gluten Free Italian Bulk Sausage) 1 cup shredded cheese 6 eggs 2 cups milk Tear bread into pieces and place in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle cooked sausage over bread. Sprinkle grated cheese over sausage. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Pour over bread, sausage, and cheese. Refrigerate. You could refrigerate overnight and cook for breakfast. I have also put this together in the morning, refrigerated it all day and cooked it for supper.  Cook for 1 hr @350. (I usually cook it about 5 minutes longer, just keep an eye on it till it's done) Enjoy!
